Visual artists often find inspiration in literary works, and we do, too! This summer, the Clark is reading Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, a celebrated novel that has informed the work of Kathia St. Hilaire and her Invisible Empires exhibition. Come early to view the exhibition before joining Clark educators and fellow book lovers for a casual conversation about the book and its connections to St. Hilaire's exhibition.

Free, including day-of admission to Kathia St. Hilaire: Invisible Empires. Advance registration required. Capacity is limited. To register, email [email protected]. Pick up One Hundred Years of Solitude at the Clark's Museum Store, borrow a copy from your local library, or reach out to [email protected] for support in acquiring a free copy.
